The anterior pituitary produces tropic hormones. These hormones include; thyroid-stimulating hormone, luteinizing hormone, adrenocorticotropic hormone, and follicle-stimulating hormone. The hypothalamus controls the release of these hormones.

Which human organ produces hormones?
Hormones are chemicals that carry messages from organs of the body to the cells. These messengers, then, regulate processes in the body (growth, reproduction, metabolism, digestion, balance between mineral and fluid, and the functioning of organs).They are secreted, in animals, by organs, tissues, and glands, into the blood and carried to target organs. Once there, they may cause an alteration of the natural actions of the organ or a regulation of the production of other hormones.Hormones can control behavior. There are two categories of hormones: peptides (they are short polymers formed from the linking, in a defined order, of α-amino acid) and lipids(lipids are a group of molecules which includes facts, waxes, sterols, fat-soluble vitamins, monoglycerides, diglycerides, phospholipids, etc. Their main biological funcions imply energy storage, as structural components of cell membranes and as important signaling molecules).The endocrine system produces many hormones. The major endocrine glands are the pituitary, the thyroid and the parathyroid, the pancreas, adrenals, gonads. Hormones are secreted by the stomach, small intestine and kidneys, as well.So, besides endocrine glands, there are cellular systems that can sinter substances with similar properties of hormones, for example, gastrointestinal hormones(gastrin, cholecystokinin, secretin, ghrelin, motilin, gastric inhibitory polypeptide, etc.)I've added two links. Read as well, in the first link: "Advanced and supplemental topics related to gastrointestinal hormones".
What are the main organs of the skeletal system?
the bones, bone marrow, joints, and teethThe main organs of the skeletal system are the bones.
The main organ for the removal of hormones from the blood is the?
liver
What is the main function of hormones in the body?
regulate body functions
Can hormones stimulate activities in a target organ?
The main function of hormones is to communicate activities via biochemical messenger to target organs. The endocrine system is the hormonal system that transmits signals over large distances in the body.
Is the main source of tropic hormones from the pituitary gland?
Yes, the main source of tropic hormones is the anterior pituitary gland. This gland releases hormones that control the function of other endocrine glands in the body, such as the thyroid gland, adrenal gland, and gonads. The tropic hormones include thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH), adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH), follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), and luteinizing hormone (LH).
What is the type of regulation in the endocrine system?
Hypothalamus and pituitary gland secrete hormones and regulate other endocrine organs. They are the main regulatory organs of the endocrine system
What is the main function of the organs?
The main function of the reproductive system in both females and males is simply to reproduce through sexual intercourse. As far as function, strictly speaking, sexual pleasure is just a side benefit to having sexual hormones and sexual organs. Hormones related to reproduction control everything in the background--without those hormones, we could never reproduce.

What organs can serve more than one biological function?
Most of them. many organs can release hormones that act on other organs as well as performing their main functions. for example the pancreas release insulin which can act on the entire muscular system of the body.
What are the four main lines of latitude?
Well there's the Arctic Circle, Antarctic Circle, Tropic of Cancer, Tropic of Capricorn and the Equator.
What are the main organs for the respirtary system and circulatory systems?
The main organs of the respiratory system are the lungs. The main organs of the circulatory system are the heart and blood vessels.
What are characteristic of hormones?
Hormones are the chemicals which are produced by glands. By definition they pour there secretion/secretions in blood. Blood carry the secretion through circulation to target organ/ organs for desired effect. Usually target organ sends back the message to reduce the secretion of the hormone producing gland. This is called as negative feed back effect. (Like thyroid stimulating orAdrenocorticotrophic hormone by anterior pituitary gland.) Sometimes hormone like Follicle stimulating hormone stimulates ovarian follicle. Which in turn produces hormone estrogen. Main female hormone. Thyroid hormones increase the 'basal metabolic rate' of body.
What are the five main lines of ltitude?
Equator, Tropic of Cancer, Tropic of Capricorn, Arctic Circle and the Antarctic Circle.
